It's finished ~ A Shoe Fit for the Queen

When I first previewed photos of the silk shoe below, I wasn't quite ready to be done with it. This shoe has been a major labor of love. Working with the blue silk was a bear. It tends to show every little spot. I worked with several adhesives before I finally found one that worked the best and didn't stain the silk. I almost gave up in the middle of putting it together. I'm glad I didn't. I have kept the style simple and really didn't add much more to it other than the French trim to the back of the heel. I like to think that Cinderella or even Marie would have loved to have worn it.

A stroke of real genius and able fingers! Oh Nancy, isn't creating fun??? Thank you for your inspiration. I am having fun thinking of ideas for writing, decorating, shoes and more! Bravo!!! I LOVE YOU! Anita

I don't suppose, you could, share your secret? How do you make those little round ruffles? Is it like a secret your grandma told you and you can never ever share? Oh please, wont you share with me? I promise never ever to tell anyone. It will just be between me and you.

Bonsoir ma chère! I hope you are mingling with the guests! Yes, I tried changing the date but I couldn't find where! I went on the edit posts page, but I blew it! After I read your message, I tried again, but it shifted in a lower spot...oh well! I must attend to my other guests! Amuse-toi! Bisous, Anita
